Hello All

My arm rest are in good shape. What I'd like to do is either Paint or Dye them a different color. Is the Arm Rest material a Vinyl or ?

What type of Paint or Dye could I use?

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated

Thanks Again

I have used vinyl paint in the past and been very happy with the results.

Duplicolor, Krylon, Rustoleum all make good spray paint for vinyl, just make sure to use a vinyl prep spray first.
Autozone and Pepboys both have a pretty good selection.

Hi,

I had the same thing. All I did was go down to home depot and by the color i wanted spray paint in vinyl paint. I was a little scared about using the spray paint but it turned out great.
